Is anybody happy with their defense?

Driving in earlier today from Oklahoma City, I tuned in the Oklahoma State pregame radio show, where the hosts spent much time discussing the trouble the Cowboys have had on defense this season. They lamented that the Cowboys had been poor in the department of stick-'em-in-the-chest, wrap-'em-up form tackling. One chalked it up to the ESPN "SportsCenter'' effect, saying that kids were more interested in making the big highlight play and, thus, their fundamentals suffered.I'm sure that the way OSU has recruited the past few years Cowboys fans also feel as if they have too good of talent on defense to have given up 35 and 41 points in a couple of games. So it's not just Lubbock where people are moaning about their defense. Probably going on everywhere there's a D ranked outside hte top 20 in the nation.
